Hyndman running for Dems’ nod in 29th AD

Democratic leaders from Southeast Queens and the county are supporting Alicia Hyndman, the former president of Community Education Council 29, to run for the seat in the 29th State Assembly District left vacant by the resignation of Bill Scarborough. … Hyndman said she has the backing of elected leaders including state Sen. Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) and Councilman Daneek Miller (D-St. Albans), as well as district leaders from Southeast Queens and the Queens County Democratic Organization. … Hyndman would be considered a prohibitive favorite against any Republican seeking the seat in the 29th, and joining an Assembly with an already overwhelming Democratic majority. “That would be a tremendous advantage,” she said.
